Every little girl has a dream, and for one little girl that dream was to give every bride a haute couture experience when creating their wedding dress. Sharon McPherson established Opus Couture based in the seaside village of West Kilbride in 2003 and it has quickly grown to be Scotland's leading name in bridal fashion. With nominations every year and winning Best Bridal Retailers in 2006, 2010 alongside the VOWS Industry Awards in 2016, its fair to say, we know brides. That original ethos runs in the veins of the whole team who become a very important part of the bride's wedding day, even if they are not there in person, what the bride is wearing is everything we've done for them, right down from the buying to every stitch and bead.

Being an Opus Bride

Even just the decision to step through the doorway of a bridal boutique can be pretty terrifying, never mind deciding on what dress you are going to amaze everyone in. It helps knowing that our team are not only a supremely talented bunch, but are also some of the loveliest, craziest, girls you will ever meet. From Susan who cries tears of joy alongside mums, to Niamh and her love of all this beaded and boho, and Khara who remains the wonder woman of Opus - we've yet to discover her secret. These girls work with you to make sure when you walk down the aisle, you are wearing something that looks spectacular and you feel confident wearing.
